Hei hei, the gang's (finally!) all here! I'm so excited to share Elsa and Forse's story with you! Perfekt Balance releases TODAY, and I couldn't be happier. This book was kind of, sort of, really, really tricky for me to write, since when I first met Elsa I had no idea how her gift worked. No idea. But after a lot of research, some mind-blowingly awesome classes, countless chats with my dear friend Lorna, the loving guidance of my ever-patient critique partners Stacey and Kristie, and my editor

Perfekt Control is officially live EVERYWHERE! And what better way to celebrate than with a trip to the Norse crew's Northwest Compound?   If you've read any of the Ære Saga books, you know the Norse crew has a safehouse in an undisclosed location somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Tyr gave me clearance to confirm that the safehouse is, in fact, real, and it's spectacularly gorgeous. He wouldn't let me release its coordinates, but he did say I could share a few pictures. Want a peek?     When

By now we've pretty much established that I am a GINORMOUS Star Wars fangirl. (If you still have doubt, click HERE to read about how I slept in the Anaheim Convention Center basement to watch the first Star Wars Trailer with the cast. #Truth #CrazyFangirl #ChewyWereHome ) So you can only imagine how excited I was to wake up this morning and find out that iBooks did THIS:    iBooks put Perfekt Order right next to The Force Awakens in "Our Picks" for Young Adult!!   RIGHT NEXT TO THE BOOK OF

I have been waiting FOREVER to get to share this book with you! And it's finally here!! I'm beyond excited to FINALLY get to share the first book in The Ære Saga -- Perfekt Order. Mia and Tyr started as a tiny little nudge in my imagination. Tyr kept tapping at my brain, and when it became clear he was going to pull an Ull and not stop talking until I wrote his story, already, I gave in and sketched out a few paragraphs of what his world looked like. The book has gone through countless changes

Morgan Wylie is here to tell us all about her journey, and what you can expect from her latest read!       What would you be doing right now if you were not an author?  Well, possibly a couple different things: I use to be a real

Hei hei, y’all! I’m sorry it’s been so long. I’ve been deep in the writing cave, getting the first three books of The Ære Saga all ready to share with you. I can’t believe Perfekt Order comes out in just three weeks! Eek!   A few weeks ago, I ducked out of the cave for a bit to meet one of my heroes. Who was it? I’ll give you a hint: he’s pretty much the sum of all of my favorite things.   If there’s one thing you probably know about me by now, it’s that I am a massive nerd. I love Shakespeare

Let's talk about Ull, shall we?   There's a whole lotta good stuff in the Prose Edda (kind of sort of the Viking Bible) and the Marvel folklore about Thor, God of Thunder, Prince of Asgard, All Around Great Guy. But there's barely anything out there about his cutie-pie stepson. Whaddya say we get a little better acquainted with the Norse God of Winter??   According to the Prose Edda, Ull is the son of the goddess Sif, and the stepson of her hammer-weilding hubby, Thor. He lives in a pad called
